And that's where the seed was planted I suppose.

You can also grab the seeds from the old sunflower heads and plant them in the subsequent year(unless the lead concentrates in the seeds, then I recommend not doing this.) 

In order to successfully raise capital of this magnitude, the founders must have a track record of success in the specific field of specialization in a size and type the same as the proposed investments.In order to acquire a track record of success it would require that an individual begin as an employee of an established private equity, buyout, or similar company, and advance to a level of responsibility for decision making as to investments.Candidates for these positions are culled from the top graduates of the top 5 MBA programs, or sometimes PhD programs with a degree in a specific tech field related to the endeavor.More attainable to the person without said credentials would be to establish a track record of success in real estate investment and put together a small to medium size syndication with a significant seed investment by the operating partner.

If you were using your seed money, I would say invest it, but you're not. 

Also, this particular town has a k-12 school but only 2 businesses, a mechanic shop and a seed store.

The sand alone for each system was over 10k , Tanks were 4k, Pump was 1k, engineer cost was 1900 to draw the plan up and get county approval, another 1250 for inspections and as built plan after completion, Still have to add stone, piping, cost to do all the excavation work, cost to get rid of the old tank, seed the ground upon completion. 

Sounds like an easy way to lose your seed capital and your reputation to boot. 

Fill in the numbers as needed:1 - PV = $100k2 - DP = 10% = $10k3 - Fund LLC $10k4 - Offer Seller terms on $90k (int % and years)5 - Hold until cumulative CF equals DP6 - Sell LLC for 20% of appreciated PV (there's your profit)7 - Seller still has contract with LLC, but LLC has different ownership, therefor...8 - ...the New owner of LLC has exact same terms as the old owner, which means the exact same CF9 - Rinse and repeat, only you now should have twice (in seed money) what you started with, so...10 - Repeat actually means you are doubling what you started with in Step #1.11 - Repeat again when these two reach Step #6, and you double again ( now = 4 times what you started with.12 - Continue repeating every Step # 6, doubling the previous doubling, and you have your compounded return.1073741824. 

I used part of the "cash like substance" as a DP on a 10 CAP NNN where the NOI covered both the Debt service on the NNN and the interest payment on the NLD.The rest of the money (now free seed money) I reused multiple times over for flipping, adding the profits to the original seed money...expanding it to twice the original amount.Then, taking the profits and buying NNN for cash flow, while repeatedly reinvesting the  same "original seed" money to infinity...generating a continuous flow of profit to buy Cash Flow properties.Through all of this, I never spend a dime

What I'm not sure of is whether I should make a small Rental business, using the money as seed capital to secure a larger line of credit (and therefore buying more rental properties).
